The first part of this book will help the reader to understand the basis of ant colony algorithms, and to map them to a panorama of applications in the field of optimization, particularly in the field of real-world applications. The second part deals with broader topics, such as those not limited to optimization problems, and provides an overview of current research in the field of artificial ants."--Page 4 of cover UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1011/2010025547-d.html ER -
